Defendants Sentenced in Methamphetamine Trafficking Case
Matthew D. Krueger, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that eight individuals were sentenced after convictions for drug trafficking in Northeastern Wisconsin. The sentences imposed by Chief United States District Judge William C. Griesbach were the result of guilty pleas by all eight individuals between May 11, 2017 and January 11, 2018.
Brady Pomeroy, a resident of Wisconsin, was convicted of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes. Sentencing date: September 8, 2017. Pomeroy received a 120-month sentence for the conspiracy charge and a 60-month sentence for the firearms charge, to be served consecutively, totaling 180 months. Additionally, he received a 36-month term of supervised release.
The investigation revealed that Pomeroy and his co-defendants conspired amongst themselves and with others, distributing a large quantity of methamphetamine in the Fox Valley region of Northeastern Wisconsin. The defendants obtained methamphetamine from sources in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay Areas of California and directly from locations in Milwaukee and California. The defendants used a residence in Fox Crossing and a business in Menasha to repackage and transfer the methamphetamine to local distributors.
The case was investigated by the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group-Drug Unit and US Drug Enforcement Administration, with assistance from the Appleton Police Department, Oshkosh Police Department, Menasha Police Department, Neenah Police Department, Fox Crossing Police Department, and the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Andrew J. Maier.
Chief Judge Griesbach noted the seriousness of the offenses the defendants committed, remarking that they caused immeasurable damage to the community through the sale and distribution of what he called “poison.”
